Another object of the invention is to proand useful Tm:

- vide a rack with necktie sustaining hooks, of

peculiar construction and to arrange said hooks in such a manner that the necktiesv may be readily placed thereon and easily and quickly removed therefrom while at the same time displaying the neckties in an at' tractive manner.

In the drawing, Fig. 1 is a side elevation of the necktie rack; V

Fig. 2 an end elevation, a'portion of the supporting standard being shown in sec tional view; and

Fig. 3 a plan view of the racln Referring to the various parts bynumerals, 1 designates the base and 2 a tubular supportingstandard mounted on the base. Removably mounted. in the top of the stand ard is a rotatable post 3 on the upper end of which is secured a horizontal frame or head consisting of the transverse bar 4 and two side bars 5 and 6. The side bars are parallel and are connected to the transverse bar 4 at a point midway their ends. The entire frame is rotatable and bears at its under side on the upper end of the standard 2.

Each of the side bars is provided. with a series of necktie sustaining-hooks 7. The

shanks 8 of the hooks in each series extend downwa-rdly'and outwardly from their sup porting bar. The hooks of each series are ar ranged in parallel vertical planes at an oblique angle to the supporting bar and all inclining toward one end of the bar, and necessarily in the same direction.

At the lower end of the shank of each hook is formed a horizontal necktie receiv ing portion 9, said horizontal portion extending outwardly from the shank in the same angnlarly disposed vertical plane as the shank and at the same oblique angle to the supporting sustain the necktie in a vertical plane oblique to the longitudinal line of the sup vertical planes ofthe side bars and State'of New York, I

bar. The object of this is to Serial No. 582,585,

. porting bar in order to'give a substantially fiatwise display of the neckties. The horizontal portions 9 of the hooks are beyond the so that the neckties will be supported atpoints beyond The purpose of this is to permit t-heneckties to be placedreadily on the moved from the rack edgewise whileat the same time they will be displayed substantially fiatwise.

Thehooks on the bar 5 are inclined toward one end of said bar while the books on the bar 6 are inclined toward the opposite end of said bar 6. The purpose of. this is to present the neckties supported by both series of hooks in the same position withrespect to the purchaser by horizontal portion of to form a necktie re- The outer end of the each hook is turned up taming portion 10. This upturned portion maybe as long as may be necessary to sustain the desired number of neckties on each hook. 1

That I claim is:

' l. A necktie displaying rack comprising a base, a tubular standard, a post rotatably mounted in the top of said standard, a straight horizontally disposed bar secured to theupper end of said post secured to said bar, said hooks having shanks extending downwardly and outwardly from same end of the bar, each of said hooks having a horizontal tie-supporting portion extending outwardly from the lower end of its shank in the same angularly disposed vertical plane as said shank and provided with an upwardly extending outer end portion to retain neckties in place on the horizontal tie-supporting portion of the hook.

'2. A necktie displaying rack comprising a base, a tubular standard, mounted inthe top of saidstandard, a horizontally disposed head secured to said post to rotate therewith, and two rows of hooks having their shanks secured to said head at their upper ends along two parallel lines at opposite sides of a vertical plane intersecting the axis of rotation of the head, the shank of each hook extending downto rotate therewith, and a row of necktie-supporting hooks a post rotatablyv wardly and outwardly beyond the adjacent side of the head and being provided at its lower end with an outwardly extending tie supporting portion turned upward at its outer end, each of: the hooks of each row being located from end to end thereof in a single vertical plane disposed at an oblique angle to a vertical plane through the points of connection of the row of hooks with the head, and the planes of the hooksof the two rows being inclined toward different ends of said rows.

3. A necktie rack comprising a vertical standard, a horizontal frame supported on said standard and having two parallel side bars at opposite sides of the standarchand two rows of'hooks depending from said side recesses bars, each of said hooks having its shank extending downwardly and outwardly from the bar with which it is connected and being provided withan outwardly extending tiesupporting portion at the lower end of its shank, said tie-supporting portion of the hook having an upturned outer end, all of the hooks in each row beinglocated in their entirety in parallel vertical planes disposed at an oblique angle to the side bar support ing the row of hooks. and the vertical planes of the hooks of the two rows being inclined toward opposite ends of the frame.
